Chris Ringland Three Rivers Dry-Grown Shiraz 1995 750mL (Only 600 Bottles Produced)

Since there are just under 50 cases of this wine for the world, the tasting notes are short as they are primarily of academic interest. One-hundred-year old vines, cropped at one ton of fruit per acre produced a virtually perfect wine of splendid concentration, symmetry, and length (nearly a minute). An opaque black/purple color is followed by staggering aromas of black fruits, truffles, sweet earth, and wood.
